Beast Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Well, I'm in college in Philly now and the combination of that with the fact that the first PPV of 2004 will be here, I found myself thinking about what the best match was that ever took place in this great city. I looked up the PPV's and the ones that were here are: Halloween Havoc 1989 w/ Lex Luger vs. Brian Pillman Summerslam 1990 Halloween Havoc 1992 w/ Windham and Rhodes vs. Williams and Austin Slamboree 1994 w/ Nasty Boys vs. Cactus and Sullivan KOTR 1995 Mind Games 1996 w/ Michaels vs. Mankind Barely Legal 1997 w/ 6-Man Michinoku Pro Match Wrestlemania 1999 Unforgiven 2000 Out of all the matches on those PPVs, I would consider the Michaels/Mankind to be the best. However, I haven't seen many non-PPV matches, including TV, and Indys like ECW and RoH for instance. Is there any match that you would consider better than Michaels/Mankind.
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 ECW World tag title match, double-dog collar: Raven & Stevie Richards v. The Pitbulls.
Tim Cooke Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Best Tag Title Match: Midnight Express defeat Arn Anderson/Tully Blanchard © to win the NWA WOrld Tag Team Titles on 9/12/88. Best 6 man Tag Team Match: Great Sasuke/Gran Hamada/Masato Yakushiji vs. Dick Togo/Men's Teioh/Taka Michinoku (4/13/97) Best Singles Match: Bryan Danielson vs. Paul London (4/12/03)
Guest BobBacklundRules Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 I don't consider the 6 man from Barely Legal to be a "best match", I love to watch it but there are too many blown spots, it's still a great match.
Tim Cooke Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Care to name the blown spots? Because there weren't any. Tim
Guest Askewniverse Posted December 2, 2003 Report Posted December 2, 2003 Care to name the blown spots? Because there weren't any. Tim I can only remember one blown spot in that match, which was the triple-team powerbomb on Sasuke.
Tim Cooke Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Eh, that wasn't blown, it was sloppy. Tim
Guest bort Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 ECW World tag title match, double-dog collar: Raven & Stevie Richards v. The Pitbulls great hardcore battle, in ravens shoot interview he doesnt rate it as his best match though
Nevermortal Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Cactus Jack/Kevin Sullivan v. The Nasty Boys (Slamboree '94)
Placebo Effect Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Well, I'm in college in Philly now and the combination of that with the fact that the first PPV of 2004 will be here, Don't concern yourself with WWE in Philly. You're in a city with CZW, ROH, MLW, and two or three other indies that occasional run. Instead of spending $50 on a WWE ticket, go to two or three indy shows.

These arent the best,but they are awesome, Ki vs Spanky vs Williams vs Daniels,Danielson vs Styles, and Danielson vs Daniels vs Ki were all awesome. Also include Styles vs London if that took place in Philly. I am not sure
bob_barron Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Styles v. London was in Boston not Philly

iliketurtles Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 Cactus Jack & Maxx Payne vs. Nastys @ Slamboree 1994...literally 10 minutes of fucking insane, brutal brawling...the crowd is obviously totally into it as well.
CanadianChris Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 I'll go for Eddy vs. Deano from Hostile City Showdown '94.
deancoles Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 I have a soft spot for Demolition vs Hart Foundation at Summerslam 90.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted December 3, 2003 Report Posted December 3, 2003 I highly doubt there is ANY Chance to name a great match anywhere. Uh........was KOTR 95 in Philly?
